thats the best truck in my opinion for doing driveways. im putting a back drag on mine this year. like stated before, all the power of a full size with a nice tightpackage. i also run the western on that truck as well. you wont be disapointed

Granted, its good for driveways and tight spots,but if you get a heavy, wet ,snow it will throw you around. I use to plow with a full size dodge and would plow through anything. Now I have a 99 silverado short bed,I love the truck,just don't get behind with a snow, keep up with it.

We have a 94 shortbox stepside, "ole steppy" we call it, its very nice and maneuverable, its our oldest truck by far and the boss is ready to retire it any time, but it just refuses to die. 194k on it. we also have the 7'6 western, works out very nicely for condo complexes or for an extra truck for the sidewalk dudes.

Yeah, I loved my 99 Silverado rcsb to plow, but it really didn't compare to heavier longer trucks that I use now. As stated above, they're nice for zipping around in, but not the greatest for bigger applications. A heavier snow will definately prove itself against the truck. I ran a Boss 7'6" on mine and if I made longer passes with it, next thing I knew with the blade angled one way trying to windrow, I'd be only cutting through half of it and the pile would be forcing the ass end of the truck away from it. Weight helps, but only so much.

Depends on your application I guess. The turning radius is nice, but not if you don't need it.

I have an older truck that I would like to use for plowing, Can this truck be used for plowing my driveway? I was told that extended cab maynot be good for plowing, and I'm not sure why. But if its just for my residential driveay is this possible?

the truck in my avator is the truck i ran for 4 seasons. pushed every snow fall. had a 5.7 with 5 speed trans and 3.42 gears. it would plow circles around any truck but anything over 6 inches it did struggle alittle bit cause of the short wheel base. other than that the truck would run like no tomarrow plowing. i have a 7'6 superduty boss on the front witch is now on my 2500hd.

i ran about 800lbs in tractor weights in the rear and about 10lbs of air in my firestone 5k bags to level it out and it would push like a freight train.
